SATURDAY NIGHT.
Swf.kt to the soul the parting ray,
That ushers placid evening in ;
When with the still, expiring day,
The Sabbath's peaceful hours begins
How grateful to the anxious breast,
The sacred, hours of holy rest.
Hove the blush of vernal bloom.
When morning gilds night’s sullen tear,
Ami dear to me the mournful gloom
Os Autumn, 11 Sabbath of the year
But purer pleasures, joys sublime,
Await the dawn of Hoi.x Time.
Hushed is the tumult of the day,
And worldly cares and business cease;
While soft tbe vesper breezes play,
To hymn the glad return of peace;
Oseason blest, O moments given !
To turn the vagrant-thoughts to Heaven.
What though involv'd in lurid night,
The loveliest cbanns of nature fade !
Yet inid the gloom can heavenly light,
With joy I he contrite soul pervade ;
O then Great source of light divine,
With beams ethereal gladden mine.
Oft as these-hallowcd hours shall come,
O raise my thoughts from earthly things.
And bear me to ray heavenly home
On living Faith’s immortal wines—
'Till the last gleam of life decay
In one eternal Sabbath Day !
From Poulson's American Adrerliser.
“Arise—shize ! for thy Light is come.”
ISAIAH LX. 1.
Hark! ‘tis the prophet of the skies,
Proclaims Redemption near;
The night of death and bondage flies,
The dawning streaks appear!
Zion, from deepest shades of gloom,
Awakes to glorious day ;
Her deserl wastes with verdure bloom,
Her shadows flee away !
To heal her wounds, her night dispel,
The Heralds* cross the main ;
On (Calvary’s awful brow they tel!
That Jesus lives again!
From Salem’s towers, the Islaim sign,
With holy zeal is hurl’d—
’Tis there Immanuel’s symbol’s shine,
His banner is unfurl’d !
The gladdening news commenc’d afar,
Remotest nations hear;
To welcome Judah’s rising star,
The ransom’d tribes appear !
Again, in Bethlehem, swells tbe song,
The choral breaks again ;
While Jordan’s shores the strains prolong,
“ Good Will—and Peace to Men !”

MISCELLANY.
The following interesting relation is selected
from the “ New York Literary Journal and Belies
Lettres Repository,” published monthly, in that
city, by S. C. Van Winkle. Many of our read
ers may have perused it in the Journal, but it will
•doubtless be new to the greater part -
“ I entered the army at the commence
ment of the revolution a humble private
eoldier, and left it, od the establishment of
our independence, a major and a cripple.
“ f know not whether it was owing to
my Yankee inquisitiveness, or to any belter
quaiitv I possessed, but wherever I wau
dered, I contrived to meet with, or hear
more adventures and obtain a knowledge
of more secrets, than any of my comrades.
Indeed I was in the confidence of half my
regiment, and was the faithful deposit of
many a love affair.
“It is the common remark of an old
man, that times are changed to the worse,
unlike his young days, kc. But these days,
when mer. pursue their daily routine of
business y pleasure, without interruption,
eat in peace, and take their rest fn securi
ty, are happily different from those when
our food was eaten with ‘ each man his staff
in his hand, and his loins girded,’ and when
the sleep which nature claimed after days
of danger and fatigue, was but the slumber
of watchfulness.
“ These various scenes, the adventures
that befel me, and which 1 witnessed around
me, have filled my memory with recollec
tions, the recording of which, has often
amused the languid hours of solitary’ age.
It has afforded me some gratification to
’ ‘ fight my battles o’er again and should
they be deemed worthy of notice, your at
tention will sometimes he intruded-upon by
the recollections of an old soldier.
“It was a lowering summer day ; dark
clouds, piled on each other, frowned over j
the earth, and distant peals of thunder an-’
nounced the approaching tempest, when
Maj. H and Capt. Seymour, at the
jfieail of a small reconnoitering party, from
the English camp, found themselves betvil- j
dered in a thick wood, without the prospecti
of shelter. > It was one of those extensive ;
obrests with which our country abounds;!
paths which intersected it in every di- !
•ection, indicated mat it was often travel
ed, though the roads might well perplex ;
;he traveller. Taking the path they!
jtonght most likely to lead them to tine j
jigh road, from whence they had wander- J
od, the party hastened on for the space ofi
an hour, when they heard the gushing f
sound of a water-fall, and presently they j
stood on the side of a narrow stream,;
which, after dashing down some high rocks, i
murmured away, and was lost iu the woods.
At any other moment, Major H—— would
1 hare paoied, to taste the lonely beauties of
the scrifle: td mhrk the contrast between
• the white foam of the water, with the dark
moss which spread its velvet covering over
the recks, and inhale the fragrance of the
locust, whose white blossoms hung in
wreaths over the stream. But he hurried
impatiently by, for, almost concealed by
the trees, stood a log house; which, deso
late as it appeared, still afforded the hope
of shelter.
“A thin stream of smoke, wnich rose
from the chimney, alone betokened that
this miserable abode harboured a human
being.
“Major II knocked at the door;
but receiving no answer, he burst with his
foot the slender fastening. They entered
a room which was dark and cheerless; the
roof afforded slight protection from the
weather, though its many apertures served
to light the apartment^
“ It was not till they had stood a moment
in the room that they perceived a female
hendiog over (he embers which warmed
the hearth. Her gray hairs hung irreve
rently about Iter face and neck ; her shriv
elled fyame seemed bent with age or dis
ease, and despair was marked on the wrin-
kled countenance that met the officer*’
view, a she turned to look at them; and
hastily averting her head, muttered, ‘ Mur
der abroad again !’ ‘Good dame,’ said Ma
jor H , will you direct us to the main
road?’ She returned no answer. The of
ficer repeated the inquiry; biit the old wo
man did not appear to notice him. ‘Damn
the old crone,’ he said, and placing his hand
on her shoulder, in no gentle manner, —
‘ Woman, do you hear me ?’ She raised her
eyes—the light shone through the crevices
of the roof full on the martial form of the
officer. The old woman gazed on him,
and as the lightnings which flashed around
them seemed to illuminate the hut, it re
vealed her haggard features, agitated by
the strongest emotion. She clasped her
hands convulsively, and said, ‘Hear yon!
yes, and know you too; what seek you
here? I have never another child.’ Then
apparently yielding to recollections which
his form recalled, she busied herself in
sweeping the hearth, while she muttered,
‘ Make the best room reafy, and get it nice,
dear, for he is the king’s officer, and we
must honour the king. What have you
done, foolish wench, to make your hands
so bloody ? Oh, sorrow, sorrow—one’s own
child, too !’ She shuddered, and laid her
head upon her hand. ‘ The devil take
the hag,’ exclaimed Seymour, ‘ i will try
to get a straight answer at least.’ Coining
close to her, he put his lips to her ear, and
said, in a loud voice, ‘ Beldame, where will
this foad lead us?’ The woman awoke, as
from a trance, and started on her feet.
‘Where?’ she said steadily—‘to a sudden
and bloody end; and yon,’ she continued,
pointing with her trembling hands to Major
H ‘you, who look strangely on me,
man of sin, you will die in sorrow, and the
curse of the widow weigh upon you;’ then
raising her shrill, broken voice, she sung,
without seeming to heed her astonished au
ditors, what seemed to be the stanza of
some popular so,ng :
“ Yea. many a youth, with heart cf pride,
And cheek with glory flushing,
Full tow has laid at even tide,
While fast the blood was gushing.
Thy arm of strength, and thy sabre bl ight,
Naught, naught will now avail thee ;
Gay, gallant! ere fall the dews of night,
The light of life shill fail thee,”
“ ‘ Let us go,’ said Major H , hastily,
* the bowlings of the t"mpet are not worse
than the raving? of a mauiack.’ The officers
left the hom e in silence, and railing to their
men, continued the narrow path which led
from it. The slorm still raged with the
utmost violence; a peal rs thunder, which
caused them involuntarily to stop, was fol
lowed by a bullet, which, whistling through
the trees, lodged itself in tbe bosom of Ma
jor II ; and with the noise of the tem
pest came the sound of many footsteps.
‘ That treacherous hag!’ said major H ;
‘ It is the enemy—Fly, Seymour, save the
men. Do not regard me,’ he exclaimed,
seeing his friend hesitate, ‘lam dying.’
Seymour obeyed, and his party, .living into
the wood, were soon lost to sight, except
one soldier, who would not leave his com
mander, but endeavoured to hide him with
the bushes, while he crouched beside him.
The American Iroops inarched in sight;
but net perceiving the wounded man, passed
on. The agonies of his wound, which fear
for his comrades safety bad awhile suspen
ded, now overcame Major H—. “Thomp
son, support me to yon hut, inhospitable
as it is.’ The soldier obeyed ; but the door
wa s already fastened in some mariner so as
to resist his efforts to open it. At last a
sharp voice asked who troubled her.—
‘ Open the door, if you have any pity—
any mercy,’ implored the soldier. Yon
have come to the wrong house,’ said the old
woman. ‘ My master if dying,’ said the man.
The door was opened, while she exclaimed,
‘ death is welcome.’ He laid his fainting
burthen on the bed, and endeavoured to
stanch the blood which flowed from the
j wound. His hostess started when she re
cognized the features of Major 11 ,
| and was silent for some moments. She
! passed her hand ever her brow, and pnt a
:side the dark wet locks that shaded it.
’‘Said 1 not, the honr would soon come?’
! she exclaimed— 4 disgrade, murder, threat
■ ened gallows, branded name—all, all are
: avenged.’ The dying man had writhed
j under her touch, and now raising his spir
i its, he said, 4 Who tire you ?—how have 1
; injured you?’ The old woman open
led a door at the foot of the bed, and
: led in the room the form of exquisite beau*
i ty. Every charm unfled to adorn the face
j which no ray of sense illumined:—tluye
j was no expression, save the vacant stare
j and idiotick smile. As her mother led her
to the bed,-Major II knew her, and
‘stretchiug out his hands, cried, in a fearful
voice, ‘Ellen! Ellen!’ ‘ Aye, 1 sftidtlie mo
ther, ‘you know your victim. 1 ‘Oh! he
exclaimed, ‘fur one hour of life to do this
injured one justice I 1 ‘Justice !’ repeated
the old woman, mournfully, ‘ can you re- j
store her Reason,or herinnocence V ‘Cease, i
woman, torment me not with your re-j
proaches.’ ‘,lla!’ said the old woman,,
walking up to the bed,‘do you shrink ! you
could leave her when she lay at your feet,
and begged you to s(ay, even for the love
of God and the unborn infant that would he
fatherless. Yon dared to do this —do ye
fear to hear of it? You talk of atonement
—how ? would you give us gold, whom you
have robbed of peace ? gold! to L* pt an
other spoiler V At that moment, Ellen, who
had laid her hands on the bleeding breast
of her destroyer, and stained them with
his blood, held them up, and looked wist
fully in her mother’s face; who started,
and said, in a tone of piercing anguish,
‘ Just so she looked when’ ‘ When what.
faintly demanded Majitf - H *• ‘ M Hen
she •murdered her babe,’ was the aorupt
reply. A deep, long drawn groan from
the bed announced that the cord ol life was
broken.”
CIRCUMSTA NT! AL EVIDENCE.
From, an English. Paper.
A farmer was tried at the assizes for the
murder of a neighbour under the toliowing
circumstances: The evidence ‘vent to
prove, that the deceased was toned recent
!v murdered; and by his side lay a pitch
fork, evidently the sort and instrument by
which the wounds up;.'eared to have been
inflicted. The person finding him, discow
ered the initials of (he piisoner, to whom
he, with others, immediately repaired, to
ascertain whether he had any knowledge
of the circumstance. The prisoner ap
peared confused, but positively denied any
knowledge about it; not being able to ac
count, however; for his fork getting into
the possession of, or being found near, the
deceased. Further inquiries were made,
and the prisoner’s bouse searched, when
under his bedding were discovered some
clothes which he usually wore (and had
been seen in that very morning) covered
with blood, and the deceased’s fork be
hind the bedstead.
The prisoner, being called on for his de
fence, declared his innocence ; and called
God to witness that he tvasnot the murder
er. The troth, he said, was this, although
he had at first denied all knowledge of the
affair; —that be was walking to one of his
neighbour’s grounds, that morning, with
his fork in his hand, (it being hay time)
and (hat he found the deceased weltering
in his blood. That he immediately render
ed him wliat assistance he could, bj’ raising
him up, and that the man died in his arms.
Finding life gone, and observing the bloody
condition bis own clothes were in, and fear
ing that he might therefore be suspected,
he hurried home, and by some mistake took
up the deceased’s fork instead of his own.
The judge (Mr. justice Blackstone, I think)
nnd jury, except one man, immediately con
cluded the prisoner guilty. This juryman,
fortunately for the prisoner, knew that cir
cumstances were not always to be relied
on, an.l could not be brought to reconcile
his mind, to find him guilty. The judge,
who was ready to move off to the next as
size town, considering this man a most ob
stinate felloov, desired to know what could
lead him to a supposition of the prisoner’s
innocence when the circumstantial evidence
of his guilt was perhaps the strongest ever
known.
I’he juryman obtained an interview with
the judge, from whom he exacted a prom
ise that his reasons for snch conduct should
not be named by his lordship until after his
the juryman’s death. He then said'to his
lordship, I am (if 1 can he so called) the
murderer, and not the prisoner ; but the
fact is, it was purely accidental. The de
ceased was.oor titheman, a man of quarrel
some disposition, and we differed about his
setting out the tithe of my hay. From
words we got to blows, and in a scuffle we
both fell, and in the fall the fork penetrat
ed liis side. Considering the wound mor
tal, after a few minutes T left him, and the
prisoner came up soon afterwards; and his
statement is perfectly true, although cir
cumstances would have hanged him, but
that Providence placed me upon his jury.
The prisoner was in consequence acquit
ted, and tbe above facts were, after the
death of this juryman, introduced by the
same judge in his charge to the grand jury
upon a subsequent circuit, by way of cau
tion against admitting ii; all cases, however
strong, circumstantial evidence alone.
WINTER IN THE ARCTICK REGIONS.
The darkness of a prolonged winter now broods
impenetrably over the frozen continent, unless
the moon chance at times to obtrude her faint
rays, which only discover the horrours and wide j
desolation of the scene. The wretched settlers,
Covered with a load of bearskins, remain crowded
and immured iu their hut, every chink of which
they carefully stop against the piercing external
cold ; and cowering about the stove .or the lamp,
they seek to doze away the tedious night. Their
slender stock of provisions, though kept iu the
same apartment, is often frozen so hard, as to re
quire to he cut with a hatchet. The whole of the
inside of their but becomes lined with a thick
crust of ice; and if they happen for an instant
to open a window, the moisture of the confined
air is immediately precipitated in the form of a
shower of snow. As the frost continues to pene
trate deeper, the rocks are heard at a distance to
split with loud explosions. The sleep of death
seems to wrap up the scene in utter and oblivious
ruin.
At length the sun re-appears above the horizon
—but his languid beams rather betray the wide
waste, than brighten the prospect. By degrees!
however, the further progress of the frost is check
ed. In the month of May, the famished inmates
venture to leave their hut, in quest of fish on the
margin of the sea. As the sun acquires elevatnn
his power is greatly increased. The snow gradu
ally wastes away, the ice dissolves apace, and
vast fragments of it, detached from the cliffs, and
undermined beneath, precipitate themselves on
the shores with the noise and crash of thunder.
The ocean is now unbound, and its icy dome bro
ken up Wflli tremendous rupture. The enormous
field, of ice thus set.RtiMt, are, by t e ® f
winds and currents, again dtssevered Ml* “"ft*
ed. Sometimes, impelled in opposite dipctwn ,
they approach, and strike with a mutual shock,,
hit/the-crush of worlds, rudiment, it o l’l’ o ’’ ’ *
; reduce to atoms, in a moment, the P ro | l<ies, m .

! crew of a wlmlcr, who see their frail bark thus fa
j tally enclosed, expecting immediate and u ewta
ble destruction. [Edm. Renew.
